I squid hard during month of May. Eat some save some for striper during September. Never try tuna before, tuna with flying rod is my dream fishing day *one of these days* <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' />
I used to buy squid in the box (I think those squids are caught from Cali) for striper, but it's not the same.
My wife hate fishing (she doesn't have patience at all) but I took her to squid fishing and she's hook.
I often bring 2 rods with me, 6'6" with 15# mono line. One rod I tie 2 jigs with weight, other rod I used one jig (2.5oz jig to 3.5 oz jig) without weight. I try braid line before, it's doesn't work great because so many times I actually yank our its tentacles <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> . 10# line is actually perfect that's what I am going to try this year. I try 6# line, don't like that much.
2 yrs ago, squid doesn't bite in the bottom, they bites on top, my friend and I get over a bucket while other people look at us and start cutting their weight.
Where are you from Travis ?
Say hi to the gang if you head down to Newport in a few weeks.[/quote]
I am from Mansfield, MA and squid down at GI. Everytime I go there I end up fishing off to the side in the cove, I have never even fished on the bridge yet, I'll have to give it a shot if the crowd isn't too crazy. Great info about them hitting on top! I met a few guys from this site down there last year, they were EXTREMELY helpful and curteous. I enjoy learning this fishery as it is completely new to me.
As far as fly fishing, that is pretty much all I do. I fish light tackle spinning gear and flyrod for stripers and tuna. The class of tuna have gotten much bigger than the schoolie size class of fish from a few years ago, time to step up to a 14wt.
